Does this mean that badminton will be replaced by an even lamer sport? My oldest daughter loves to play tag. Maybe that could be an Olympic sport, if it isn't already. This, of course, leads to speculation on sports that either are now or ought to be considered as a replacement for badminton:

Yeah, that's pretty bad badminton (bad2minton? Worseminton?). But, ultimately, it's still badminton. It's up there with synchronized lawn darts as a sport. Watching a couple of teams targeting the net with shuttlecocks is only marginally less interesting than watching them really trying.

"And the American is attempting a full sitz under the German! And they're both off of the chair and it's inverted! Now they're tugging on the chair and the referees are stepping in. This is truly some of the best Musical Chairs that we've seen in this Olympics!"

"You know, they both really wanted that chair, but the rules don't allow it to leave the floor. It's going to be up to the judges now, but I looks like both the US and Germany are going to be disqualified, and China, Japan and Khazakstan will advance to the semifinals. We'll be back with Bob Costas interviewing the US coach, who came to the sport after a previous career as a kindergarten teacher, after these messages."
